[ Featuring the Graveyard Shift ]
Onwards to old dreams and off into new seams of sunlight
I found you in gutters and once heard you mutter that it was alright
But you shook the hands of fate
All too little or too late
The world looks so satisfied, well isn't that just great
Off in the distance you must've resisted any plain form
Things would get better if I was the treasure that you came for
But I couldn't pass the test
Shoved aside and laid to rest
Now it's taking time to figure out which path looks best
Somebody must've left you alone
You knew it wouldn't last too long
You knew that they would cut through bone
Turn over every stone that you once owned
Somebody must've skinned you alive
But I thought you'd make it out this time
You were cold clocked in a web of lies
Left in a sinner's disguise on the high rise
Suckered in silence your words look so violent when they take shape
They don't care to listen so you'll seek resistance in a safe place
Where the leaders all will swear
That it all is yours to share
And they'll take advantage of the innocence you bear
Somebody must've left you alone
You knew it wouldn't last too long
You knew that they would cut through bone
Turn over every stone that you once owned
Somebody must've skinned you alive
But I thought you'd make it out this time
You were cold clocked in a web of lies
Left in a sinner's disguise on the high rise
